Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 22, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 15,908 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 3,542 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (74 of 165). Evening rush dominates here: 2,915 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:30 p.m., against 2,387 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's most recent midblock count on Lawrence Ave E between Warden Ave and Ainsdale Rd (188 m away, Jun 2013) recorded volume only — about 22,902 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Lawrence Ave E · Warden Ave – Ainsdale Rd · 188 mJun 2013 · 7 days22,902

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
